Ted, the picnic table is my particular favorite. Love the balance of it.

Thanks. It was a very peaceful place.

This is one of the few times I've headed up to an alpine lake and not checked the alt/azimuth info for sunrise against the topo. I miss calculated how the shadows would fall and had to adjust as the sun was rising.

I'd love to get some feedback if one stands out from the group to you.

A single coated 75/8 super angulon was used for all. A 3 stop soft GND was used as well on all the images.

Sorry if that is an old post, but i would like to ask, which camera body did you use on those shots?

[Frank Bunnik]

Tracks on a snow covered lake in the Netherlands. Made with a Master Technika and a 5,6 super angulon 90mm on Tmax 400, f/45 exposed for 12 minutes at dusk.

[bobwysiwyg]

Gee, no N.E. U.S. LF folks venturing out with their cameras post-blizzard? :confused: I would think there would be some interesting shots out there.

I was out in it yesterday, but haven't gotten things developed just yet.

[bobwysiwyg]

jp, look forward to your shots.

I would like to see more about.. A very good location.

I think a horizontal shoot would increment the protagonism of the landscape. IMHO..

Great stuff!

It seems like the work being shown in many of the threads over the last few months has just been going up by huge leaps. there is so much nice work!

I didn't print this one yet but, I think it will be ok in 16x20" enlargement. Finally, I bought 4 of those large lamps for my Durst 138s with condenser head. Those lamps are no more produced and I was getting really worried but, I found a guy who had 4 of those....

your eye for and the generation of beautiful tonality in the development/editing process are outstanding. You could use a coke bottle bottom for a lens and get outstanding prints/images.

The first one in particular is outstanding, Nana. The wave pattern looks a little like a treble clef.

May I ask what you're rating the Fomapan at?

Thank you, David.

I'm sorry but my english is not so good, I don't know what is a "treble clef".

I've been rating it at 50 asa but, yesterday, I tried 64 asa, on these photos, I think I will go back to 50 asa, because the dark areas, which I aligned with Zone III, actually ended more on Zone II than III.
I'm still doing tests with this film, I didn't find yet the right combination Sensibility/Developer/Time.
This is a very cheap film, that's why I keep testing it, but, I use it for almost 2 years and still don't "know" him very well.
It has a major problem for landscape work, it has a tremendous reciprocity failure....:mad:

It tends to "block" the shadows, too, but, it has very nice middle tones.

[Nana Sousa Dias]

Thank you Peter, Jiri, JWAddison and Jon.

We call this a "clave de sol", in portuguese. Clave=clef (Clef is a french word wich means key), de=of, sol=G (musical note).

[Jiri Vasina]

Thank you, David.

I'm sorry but my english is not so good, I don't know what is a "treble clef".

I've been rating it at 50 asa but, yesterday, I tried 64 asa, on these photos, I think I will go back to 50 asa, because the dark areas, which I aligned with Zone III, actually ended more on Zone II than III.
I'm still doing tests with this film, I didn't find yet the right combination Sensibility/Developer/Time.
This is a very cheap film, that's why I keep testing it, but, I use it for almost 2 years and still don't "know" him very well.
It has a major problem for landscape work, it has a tremendous reciprocity failure....:mad:

It tends to "block" the shadows, too, but, it has very nice middle tones.

On a close note, I usually expose Fomapan 100 @ EI 64, but recently, quite a lot of my images are overexposed by 1 EV, and a little shorter development is used (though I have reached my times by guess-work)... So it might be also something like @ EI 50 in reality...

Jiri, if you are rating it at 64 asa and they get overexposed by 1 EV then, you should rate it at 125 asa to get it right. Or am I wrong?

Actually, calling it the treble clef is appropriate only when the curly marking wraps around the second line of the staff. The general term in English is "G clef", which is an exact translation of clave de sol. We wouldn't want to confuse the treble clef with the French violin clef, now would we?

On the subject of your photos, I have GOT to make a point-n-shoot camera for my spare 65/8 Super Angulon. It must be somewhat liberating to have a camera that does the one thing you want to do really easily. I see you spending very little time fiddling with the camera to make photos that seem so undistracted.

Thank you for the explanation, Rick.

As to the camera, I think there is someone here who made a P&S camera with a SA 65/8, I don't remember who nut, you should check it on the thread called "Show us your home made camera. I sarted that thread, I think. I got some good ideas from there. You can find some nice home made cameras here, too:

http://home.online.no/~gjon/camerabuilders.htm

My camera is really fast to operate, it fixed focus ans has an external viewfinder, wich is very fast to compose. Sometimes, I run between waves, put the tripod, compose, shoot and run back just in time to keep dry. I couldn't do that if I had to look by the GG and confirm focus with a lupe.

I know a Brazilian who lives in Sao Paulo who built a 4x5 box camera using the 47XL. He used a helical bought off ebay. I bought my 47/5.6 from him--I use that as my ultrawide for 6x12. Come to think of it, an ultrawide 6x12 point-n-shoot would be even easier, and I have a spare Shen-Hao roll-film holder. Hmmmm.

I believe that we call it Treble Clef because it is the third clef. As you say, the staff line that the curl surrounds represents the 'G'. The other two clefs are the Bass Clef, aka F Clef with the two dots showing the line position of the 'F', and the Alto Clef, aka C Clef, that designates the line position of middle C by means of the indentation of the curly brace.

Each of these clef signatures may be positioned on different lines of the staff for the convenience of reading music related to the different instrument or vocal ranges.

[rdenney]

Each of these clef signatures may be positioned on different lines of the staff for the convenience of reading music related to the different instrument or vocal ranges.
[With a little help from my Music Theory Dictionary.]

The conventional labels (as used in the U.S.) for clefs in various positions are more convention than definition. The F clef is only the bass clef when F is the second line from the top, but in practice one would hardly be likely to see it any other way. My comment about the treble clef was a setup for a punch line that was obviously intended to be a joke--I doubt many musicians have ever seen the G clef used in any other positions, as it would be when known as the French violin clef. But the C clef may commonly be in either of two positions, known as the alto clef and the tenor clef. (Quixotically, the soprano clef uses the C clef marking, not the G clef).

But as we have shown (even Struan) it takes a reach onto the shelf for a music theory dictionary (or, in my case, Gardner Read's classic notation text) to remember the details, at least for those who don't specialize in "historically informed" music, which, come to think of it, might be just the sort of intellectual trifle that would amuse Struan.

You're just trying to get a raise out of me, I can tell :-)

I like the sound of sympathetic strings, both on folk (Hardanger) fiddles and the classical Viola d'amore. It's an interesting concept too - like a good, but not too literal visual echo.

Here's a landscape I'm still not sure about.

I'm heading to Alta to ski next month. Really looking forward to it. It looks like they've got great snow this year.

Awesome pano Frank.

[Frank Petronio]

Thanks. What's funny about it is that you can see the weather-sun change during the walk from left to right (it was a mile long with stops to shoot). Most people shoot panos from one vantage point.

Come to think of it, does anyone else do this? Walk between the shots to do a pano?

[mandoman7]

I like that shot, too, and have ski'd there a couple of times. But, wouldn't Kirk normally be descending on a non-LF post?

Thanks. What's funny about it is that you can see the weather-sun change during the walk from left to right (it was a mile long with stops to shoot).

I hadn't noticed that until you mentioned it. :) It's a very good image. With immobile subjects, the walk-between-shots method should give higher quality than the pivot-the-camera method, as the end shots aren't stretched to get the right subject size. I've done "the walk" method with some industrial interiors.

[Frank Petronio]

I probably should go back the original film and rescan it, then make a nice expensive roll paper print for someone's ski house.... hmm....

[rdenney]

I know the guy, the world is a small place, Rick!!!!:cool:

Indeed. He has been active for many years on a forum for those who collect ex-soviet cameras and lenses, which I currently moderate. I wish I'd had time to meet him in person when I was in Sao Paulo in November, but my trip there was official and filled with activities.

Given his own point-n-shoot project, I'm not surprised that you know him. His project first got me interested in the concept.

Walter I love this pinhole shot (which Allen commented on) also. It is very creative. Allow me to ask a "newbie" question (to you or anyone else who has the answer). How do you meter a shot like that. In other words how do you determine the correct exposure using a pinhole set up. It is strictly trial and error or do you try and determine the theoretical "f stop" of your pinhole set up by measuring the light hittling the gg using a meter?

Thanks Allen. I like it too, but I am annoyed about the flare / light leak in the lower left margin. This was from a home-made cigar box pinhole, with the film holder held with rubber bands, so there was likely a small leak or something around the back. I'm going to try to add some kind of light trip around the periphery of the holder to mitigate this kind of thing because I love shooting with this "camera".

[walter23]

It is strictly trial and error or do you try and determine the theoretical "f stop" of your pinhole set up by measuring the light hittling the gg using a meter?

thanks

Frank,

You can determine the theoretical f-stop of a pinhole from the diameter and distance to film. I don't remember the numbers for this one (actually, the FL is 25mm so you can work back to the pinhole size), but in theory it's about f/150 and so I treat it as f/200 when metering. Typically I don't bother metering because in bright sunlight and ISO 100 film it's always around 10 seconds, and once you get a couple of stops over that you can pretty much just guess the exposure (ie, leave it exposing for a long time) and be fine, erring on the side of overexposure. In light cloud I shoot for a minute or two. In shadow 5 mins or more (exact exposure time not very critical).

There are two competing factors, as you probably know. Reciprocity error is one (needing more exposure than theoretical to account for chemical reactivity of the emulsion at low light levels)... and the simple doubling of exposure times needed for a theoretical gain of one stop exposure... Whether you leave it open for 3 minutes or 5 minutes, at best you add an extra 2/3 stop (no big deal for B&W film).

Short answer: in bright sun I just shoot 10 seconds. In dimmer situations I tend to go with 5 minutes. In really dark situations; as long as I can stick around. Haven't tried night shooting; probably wouldn't have enough time between sun down and sun-up to get the exposure.

I do actually meter and try to account for reciprocity when doing colour slides though.

To get a very useful Pinhole resource try here:
http://www.pinhole.cz/en/pinholedesigner/



PINHOLEDESIGNER 2.0

PinholeDesigner is a program for Windows and is aimed at making the calculations for designing and using pinhole cameras easier. Amongst its main features are calculations for the optimal diameter of the pinhole and the exposure times for pinhole cameras.

This program offers:
– calculation of the optimal diameter of the pinhole
– calculation of the optimal focal length
– calculation of the f number for a given combination of pinhole and focal length
– calculation of the exposure factor for f 22
– calculation of the exposure times for a given f number of the pinhole camera
– calculation of the extended exposure times due to reciprocity failure for the majority of commonly used films
– saving exposure table as Microsoft Excel file or text file
– calculation of the angle of view, with diagram
– calculation of the magnification and size of the subject on light-sensitive material
– calculation of the zone plate with optional number of zones
– calculation of the f number for the zone plate
– saving the zone plate in Adobe PDF format
– conversion of millimetres to inches and back

Hope its useful

This is one I took last month but "lost" the holder. Found and developed today. Not in the class of Nana's though.

Definately not. I feel like putting my footprints there.

I really like the minimalistic approach here.

Thank you Nana!

+1 to that, soft light and a lot of details. Nice flow.

I think it deserves a nice print, great wave action

BW works really fine here, adds a lot to the moody atmosphere.


And a recent one from me I'd like to share with you Gentlemen. Nothing fancy, a good old long exposure on the beach.
Toyo 45A, Schneider SA 90mm f8 at f16, Kodak Tmax 100, developed in Tmax RS. I think the exposure time was around 5 or 7 minutes. Shot some 35 minutes after the sunset.

I really like the tones in this and the blur works perfectly to draw your eye in.

Shot this earlier today. I haven't shot much with my Cambo 8x10, but now that I've managed to mount my 9-stop filter on the Caltar S-II lens, I'll be shooting a lot more with the Legend :)

Metered at 4mins. Exposed at 9mins 30secs on the Delta 100. Developed with HC110 Dilution E.

Mono Lake 2010

Taken with a 1922 Korona 5x7 on Adox CHS25 and developed in WD2D+.

Contact print using Kentmere Fineprint VC FB Glossy. Applied Type 2 High Light mask with Arista Lith film on the Tuffas and slight bleaching on the mountains.

I wish I had a 5x7 enlarger! :(

Apologies for the scanner dust.

One from Zion this fall. This was at the end of October while the tram was still running. Went up the canyon on a very rainy day. Got soaked, but realized that moments like this in Zion are very fleeting as once the rain stopped, the waterfall quickly diminished to a trickle. Taken with a 5x7. Jim

Beautiful shot, Jim.

Good catch - this is a lovely sight to see in Zion for sure.

Thanks Sam. I wasn't sure if i should post it in the long exposures thread or landscapes :-)

Great long exposure! This may be enough to renew my interest in building my own P&S camera for just such purposes!

Thanks Argos. The camera is great for little experiments like this; I don't worry much if it gets covered with dew, frost, or whatever :-)

Cheers,
Leon

P.S. It was about 25 degrees F during most of this exposure
